Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Pynchon

Jason Dick and Sean Carswell discuss how Thomas Pynchon's novel “Vineland” led to Paul Thomas Anderson's movie “One Battle After Another,” the conversation those two works have about American culture and politics, as well as the 1960s left, the Nixonian right, Reaganism, the drug war, Trumpism and, for good measure, Emerson's concept of the level of divine justice.

Folge 1371 – Revolutionäre und Rassisten – der Stoff passt besser in die 1960er und 1980er Jahre. In dieser Zeit spielt Thomas Pynchons Roman „Vineland“, der Paul Thomas Anderson als Inspiration gedient hat. Seine Version ist eine absurde Politthrillerkomödie mit sexuell aufgeladenen Freiheitskämpfern, die am Ende doch über Leichen gehen und White-Supremacy-Weihnachtsmänner, die ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken, für ihre Privilegien töten. Den größten Genuss bietet ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, wenn man ihn als Komödie sieht und Leonardo DiCaprio und Benicio Del Toro als dämliche und clevere Kasperle und Sean Penn als durchgeknallten Dorfpolizisten im Politpuppentheater versteht. Anderson inszeniert die unterschiedlichen Phasen der Geschichte einfallsreich und hält auch mit dem ausgesprochen anstrengenden Score immer einen Mindestadrenalinwert. Wirklich herausragend in diesem wilden Mix ist Chase Infiniti, die als Rebellentochter Willa alles in den Schatten stellt. Ihre Präsenz und eine wirklich atemberaubende Verfolgungsjagd sind fraglos die Höhepunkte des Films. Direkt nach dem Podcast sind Tom und Thomas ganz unterschiedlicher Meinung.

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another has been the talk of the town since its wide release last month—from critics to filmmakers to audiences, the reception has been nothing short of euphoric. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, the film opens in an unspecified present, detailing the activities of a militant group led by a Black revolutionary (played by Teyana Taylor). Years after her disappearance, her partner (Leonardo DiCaprio) and their daughter (newcomer Chase Infiniti) are hunted down by an old enemy, Sean Penn's Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw. The chase takes them across California, with an assortment of other characters becoming embroiled along the way.  The movie is an unabashedly fun, feel-good action flick—one that also calls back to films as disparate as The Searchers, Commando, and Running on Empty. But is it among the greatest of the decade, as some have claimed? Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish invited critics and programmers Miriam Bale and Adam Piron on the Podcast to discuss the film's successes and failures, how it fits into PTA's larger body of work, and its engagement with American history and the present. If there's one thing the four agreed on, it's that One Battle After Another is indeed a “very rich text.”

Quand il y a un film de PTA riche à ce point, difficile de passer à côté dans 24FPS, le podcast ciné avec ou sans spoiler ! Dans cet épisode entièrement dédié à un film (ce qui n'était pas arrivé depuis longtemps), Julien et Jérôme décortiquent l'un des films les plus forts de l'année 2025 : Une Bataille Après l'Autre de Paul Thomas Anderson, (vaguement) inspiré du roman Vineland de Thomas Pynchon. Dans la première partie sans spoiler de l'émission, ils livrent leur avis général sans révéler les ressorts scénaristiques du film, puis c'est seulement après le signal sonore qui retentit à 0:42:45 qu'ilsreviennent sur la plupart des scènes du film en commentant son scénario. Bonne écoute, et n'hésitez pas à donner votre avis sur The Big Lebowski ! Crédits musicaux : Eye Of The Tiger de Survivor, issu de l'album Rocky III (1982)

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Paul Thomas Anderson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Chase Infiniti as they discuss their hit film One Battle After Another, which was recently presented on 70mm at our Walter Reade Theater. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. In One Battle After Another, washed-up revolutionary Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years and Bob's daughter goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past. Paul Thomas Anderson's most viscerally thrilling film to date is a total blast, an epic, comic adventure of the weird new America that spans years and stretches from across the treacherous rolling-hill highways of the southwest and beyond. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's Vineland, but with a flavor and cinematic rush that's pure PTA, One Battle After Another is an exhilarating, ultimately moving portrait of undying commitment to family amidst the mania of our contemporary world One Battle After Another is now in theaters.

PLUS: South Park is having a moment; Thomas Pynchon's timely new novel; stemming loneliness with kindness; and the life of legendary actor John Candy.

¿Cómo crear un filme que, al mismo tiempo, sea una pieza de autor, un producto de alcance masivo y un objeto que deje una marca en la cultura? la última ocasión en que un realizador había intentado algo parecido —Quentin Tarantino con Érase una vez en Hollywood— éste fue tan alabado como fustigado por cierta parte de público y crítica, pero en general se salió con la suya: su película va camino de convertirse en un clásico. El punto ahora es qué ocurre si a todo el mix anterior agregas una lectura abiertamente política, una que se sitúa de lleno ya no en el pasado reinventado (y lejano) sino en un presente totalmente reconocible, sobre todo para una conflictuada izquierda progresista y una derecha autoempoderada. Pues bien, eso es lo que pone sobre la mesa One Battle After Another: filmada en Vistavision, 65mm, con película física (el formato de mayor nitidez y espectacularidad disponible), protagonizada por Leonardo DiCaprio, en un registro tan maduro como satírico; realizada con efectos especiales prácticos, de abrumadora finura y destreza; basada tangencialmente en una novela del elusivo Thomas Pynchon (rescatando de paso mucho mejor su universo literario y humanista que Inherent Vice, la anterior adaptación de su obra); ambientada, por último, en un Estados Unidos abiertamente reconocible, un mundo de grupos de interés, bandos opuestos, sociedades secretas y armas automáticas, en el que efectivamente se dan cruciales batallas (públicas y privadas) día tras día; en fin, todo ello da cuenta de un extraordinario esfuerzo técnico y artístico, tal vez el más complejo y el más frontal emprendido por Paul Thomas Anderson, en la cumbre de su profesión e influencia en el medio. Wow, qué película y qué ambición. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.

Send us a textWelcome to the launch of our epic 5th season on Fabulous Film & Friends! This is the big one! The one that everyone will be talking about for years to come. Why? Because this is the episode where I finally get to trash the Barbie movie as we dive into the idea of “When Good Directors Go Bad.”Inspired by the recent release of 2025's Paul Thomas Anderson/ Leonardo DiCaprio domestic terror extravaganza One Battle After Another which also stars Benicio Del Toro, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Regina Hall, Tony Goldwyn, Alana Haim and Sean Penn, we're going to analyze just went wrong with this promising cinematic spectacle and compare it to another creative disaster that should've been an artistic and thematic slam dunk considering its pedigree, 2023's Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Simu Liu, Rhea Perlman and Will Ferrell.  I'm your host Gino Caputi and returning to their mics pretty much right where they left them last season are little sis' Roseanne Caputi and actor photobug Gordon Alex Robertson. Alex, you're going to start this season out of the hot seat again as Roseanne is going to continue to thrill us with factoids about the directors in question Hit us again with the facts, Teach! Before we sharpen the bayonets and light the fuses: the synopses. Barbie follows the titular blonde doll as she awakes blissfully in the female run Barbie Land each day, ignoring her supposed boyfriend Ken, and partying with her fellow Barbies all night. One night during a sensationally choreographed and costumed dance party, she has an existential crisis about mortality and develops flat feet, causing her to leave Barbieland on a journey to “the real world” to find the source of her angst. Realizing her depressed feelings stem from a psychic connection to her original owner, Gloria, Barbie reconnects with Gloria and Gloria's daughter and the trio travel back to Barbieland.  Upon their return, however, they are dumbfounded to find that Ken has taken over and has brainwashed all the other Barbies into subservience to him and his fellow Kens. A battle of the sexes ensues. One Battle After Another loosely adapts Vineland, a novel by Thomas Pynchon. It follows Bob Ferguson, a bomb expert drawn into the terrorist group the French 75. Amid the group's revolutionary chaos, Bob fathers a daughter named Willa with the fiery tempered and uncontrollable Perfidia Beverly Hills. Perfidia also has a complicated relationship with the mannered and single-minded Colonel Steven Lockjaw. She is soon caught during a botched bank robbery, and Lockjaw strikes a deal with her, leading her to name names. Years later, after most of his French 75 cohorts have been hunted down by Lockjaw, Bob is still on the run in Northern California with Willa. But Lockjaw finds and captures Willa so Bob must confront the unstoppable colonel for once and for all.  Where did these two talented filmmakers go off the rails?  Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/dBbbcNCNAj4

Send us a textIn this solo episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, host Joe Curdy dives headfirst into ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER — Paul Thomas Anderson's most politically charged and urgent film to date. (And, on a personal note, Joe also pulls back the curtain to reveal two major reasons why he is usually very positive about rating films!)Based on Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, Anderson's latest work unfolds as a sprawling and provocative look at revolution, authoritarianism, and the fight for human dignity in a fractured America. Through Joe's lens, this episode explores how Anderson translates Pynchon's chaos and satire into a modern reflection of the world today — where undocumented immigrants are hunted and forcibly deported by a draconian U.S. government under Donald J. Trump's leadership.With spoilers throughout, Joe shares his Letterboxd review and a deeply personal reflection on the film's themes, visual style, and political relevance. ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER isn't just another PTA epic — it's a call to look at the moral decay beneath the surface of American life, and a cinematic act of resistance against the “New American Order.”Whether you're a longtime Paul Thomas Anderson devotee or simply curious how cinema can mirror our modern political reality, this episode offers a raw, unfiltered deep dive into a film that's bound to spark conversation.⚠️ Spoiler Disclaimer:This episode contains major spoilers for ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

In this episode of the Superstructure podcast, Scott Ferguson is joined by independent film scholar Jonathan Haynes to discuss Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed new film, One Battle After Another. The conversation centers on the film's contribution to popular political cinema under the authoritarian violence of the second Trump administration. Scott and Jonathan affirm One Battle's unapologetically leftist perspective as a breath of fresh air within a current political climate of despair–a feeling emblematized by films such as Ari Aster's Eddington. Specifically, the episode examines how One Battle, which draws loose inspiration from Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, deliberately removes specific historical markers to place the story in an ambiguous present of ongoing revolution and counter-revolution. The hosts evaluate One Battle's controversial representation of leftist violence, highlighting the film's focus on countervailing infrastructures in addition to punctuated actions. They also speculate about the meaning of the film's rich aesthetic choices, including the mobile telephoto lenses that transform a conventional car chase into a dizzying allegory of an American culture unclear about its driving motivations and aims. Finally, Scott and Jonathan consider the complex, racialized eroticism between the revolutionary mother and the white-supremacist commander (played by Teyana Taylor and Sean Penn), which gives rise to the central character, Willa (Chase Infinity). Willa, they argue, embodies the entangled, embattled, and yet still hopeful left politics that the film ultimately celebrates.Music: “Yum” from “This Would Be Funny If It Were Happening to Anyone but Me” EP by flirting.flirtingfullstop.bandcamp.com/Twitter: @actualflirting

We begin our read-through of Thomas Pynchon's Vineland in earnest, covering Chapters 1-5.John and Asher discuss the amateurishness of opening a novel with a character waking up, the perils of transfenestration, the ersatzness of Hawaiian holidays, and whether Billy Barf and the Vomitones are a heavy metal band or a hardcore band. Was there D-beat before the band Discharge? We'll never know...Also! We welcome author, broadcaster and podcaster Jesse Jarnow to talk about the legacy of the '60s hippie counterculture and help situate Pynchon's novel, culturally. Jesse is the author of arguably the chronicle of the hippie underground, Heads (among other wonderful volumes), host of The Frow Show on the mighty WFMU in Jersey, also the co-host of The Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast. Follow Jesse on Bluesky, why dontcha?Here's John's article (that Asher helped edit) in Rolling Stone, about the history of LSD manufacture, that comes up in this episode.Music in this Episode:The Last Poets - "When the Revolution Comes" (1970)The Watts Prophets - "Public Enemy Number One" (1996)Jane Birkin - "Ex-fan des sixties" (1978)

We inaugurate the late Japanese master Shinji Sōmai with a discussion of his beautiful, melancholy coming-of-age drama Moving. The film follows the young Ren as she navigates her parents' recent separation, balancing loyalties to both her mother and father, dealing with gossiping classmates, and making attempts to reconcile the marriage. With a characteristic sensitivity and perceptiveness for the experience of youth, Sōmai excavates a universe of detail from the film's simple premise, arriving at a profoundly moving and cathartic emotional climax. We begin by discussing Sōmai as director, his style, and what we think might have drawn him to stories about the occasionally painful experiences of youth. Then, we explore how the film elicits nuance within the childhood experience of familial separation, acknowledging both the grief intrinsic to such experiences and the role children play as emotional anchors for their parents. Finally, we examine Sōmai's considerations about modern Japanese life and how he rallies against conservative social positions on divorce through the film's delicate character work.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 119 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello to discuss the latest film from director Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another (2025). On the podcast, Ryan and Jay love nothing more than sitting back and seeing a passion project from a major director be given the greenlight to be shown to the masses, and such is the case for One Battle After Another, the latest invention from PTA, who has spent nearly twenty years tinkering away at this story, making it perfect for the big screen. Loosely based off the novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary who must find his daughter once a dangerous, evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years. What seems like a simple premise evolves into the grandest feature film PTA has made, combining social, political commentary with a wicked, sharp sense of humor, and centering it all around a father, mother, and daughter dynamic that heartwarming, sincere, and emotionally profound. By doing this, Anderson has made a successful odyssey that is the culmination of his career so far while pushing the director do things he's never done before and also things audiences have never seen on the big screen. It's the movie of our time and there was no way the boys weren't going to talk about it. Ryan, Jay, Erik, and Sophia breakdown their thoughts on the film, the various formats they've seen the film in, PTA's sentimental heart clashing with his audacious direction, how timely the film feels, how every performance is pitch-perfect, thoughts on the Christmas Adventurers club, and so much more including a new wrinkle in Jay's Oscar game where we put his expertise to the test and make him predict how many Oscars this film will be nominated for. It's a fun, long, wild ride full of SPOILERS, so if you haven't seen the film, you've been warned. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h09m. The guys will be back later this week to continue their series on the films of Yasujirō Ozu with a review of his next film, Floating Weeds. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago, Brendan Hodges, and Will Mavity join me to review and discuss the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson, "One Battle After Another," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti. Inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon, the film follows an ex-revolutionary turned stoner father who must rescue his daughter from an overpowering military officer and aspiring white supremacist. It has garnered some of the best reactions, reviews, and audience ratings of Paul Thomas Anderson's career, at a time when many feel that a politically charged yet massively entertaining film like this (that can be experienced in a wide range of theatrical formats) is wholly necessary for the times we're living in. But what did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the writing, direction, performances, score, cinematography, its politics, awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
